Hee--Hedda Lettuce dishes about Project Runway!
Well, that was bitchy.
I loved it.
And, she hit the nail on the head as to why I didn't love Acid Betty:
You know why she didn’t win? Because Acid Betty’s not really a drag queen. She’s like David Bowie. It’s a different kind of – y’know, I take that back. Maybe she is a drag queen. You know why it didn’t win? You couldn’t make heads or tails out of it. Even though it was done nicely, there was a lot of stuff going on. It was distracting and Acid Betty in her own way is also very distracting. Her look is very out there, so you couldn’t really focus on what was going on in the dress as much.
I am totally loving
Long Way Down.
The dynamic between Ewan and Charley is great. On film, McGregor can play a bad-ass, but in life he is so clearly the calm one, while Charley is the wild man. It's nice to see real male friendship onscreen.
When Ewan was taking pictures before the trip and said he ends up with 200 pictures of his bike in front of various backgrounds, it made us laugh incredibly hard as that's just what the DH does.
Yes - I loved that moment.
Sadly, tivo is being difficult and did not record LWD this week. Will watch the repeat before the new episode.
I love how Ewan is just doing his thing and random people come up and ask to take pictures and he just does - w/o fuss and then goes back to doing his think like it never happened.
I also love that they went to the location in Tunisia where they filmed the original Star Wars and nobody paid attention to him so he could geek out all he wanted.
Sumi--that was so adorkable. They were all excited about seeing the original sets in a totally fanboy way.
speaking of adorkable, does anyone know what happened to Secrets of a Restaurant Chef? I really liked it, but could easily see how her mannerisms might have turned people off.
I think that they only had 5 or 6 episodes and they played them all.
Do not despair! She is in the midst (or was as of August 2nd) of writing 13 more episodes.
Where's Long Way Down showing?!?
On Fox Reality.
If you don't get Fox Reality, I believe that the show is out on dvd.
